Makita DJV182Z 18V Li-Ion LXT Brushless Jigsaw - Batteries and Charger Not Included

Product Information

Another important aspect while choosing the blade is the material they are designed for. This will ensure an improved stroke length through the given material without breakage due to the resistance offered by it. The DJV182Z weighs just 5.8 lbs including the battery. As a result, handling this product is quite easy, requiring minimal user effort to maneuver it while cutting. The base of the machine is made of heavy gauge aluminum that helps absorb vibrations due to the cutting actions of the blade. It also helps increase the stability of the machine while in operation, increasing the accuracy of the work as a result.

The Makita DJV182Z Jigsaw comes with a plethora of features that enhance the user experience and increase the value for money on this product. Listed below are a few of the features that I found extremely helpful after regular usage for over a year.

The shoe is the base of the machine that sits on top of the workpiece. Its main function is to offer a stable cutting action and minimized vibrations to the user. The reduced friction while moving across the piece helps protect it from scratches and helps increase the life of your blade as well. As a result, I could hook it up with the shop vac for cleaner surroundings. It also has a dust blower to clear the cutting line, improving visibility when the machine is in operation. I was very pleased with the comfort I had when using the machine. The vibrations were minimum and I had a comfortable grip, which improved my handling and accuracy. Like a handyman with numerous professional requirements, I can guarantee you that the Makita DJV182Z meets each and every one of them. I was very happy with the features that came with this product, which was also a cordless model.

To make sure you've got the right jigsaw - top handle: Choosing the right battery: Cordless (or battery powered) tools have various chemical battery types; Li-ion is the latest technology, prior to that it was Ni-MH and Ni-Cad was the original. The higher the Ah (Ampere hours) the longer the interval between charges; the fewer times you recharge a battery the longer it will last. Some cordless tools can also come without batteries - also referred to as naked, bare units or body only. These tools are supplied without a battery or charger and more often than not without any accessoires. As a result they are significantly cheaper in price.
